Populating ListView with type enumeration values

Hi All,

I have a function which works well populating a list view DBE with Attribute values, however I am struggling to amend this to list the enumerated values of a specified data type. The error is typically "array bounds exceeded."

Am I missing something obvious as I believe the loop is cycling through the attribute type values.

Many thanks for any steering

void getPlfm(Module m)
    {
                int numEle = noElems (currentPlfm)
                AttrType at = find(current Module,"platform")
                if(!null at && at.type == attrEnumeration)
                {
                        string szStrings[at.size]
                        int i = 0
                        for (i = 0; i < at.size; i++) 
                        szStrings[i] = at.strings[i]
                        
                        insert (currentPlfm,numEle,(szStrings[i]))
                numEle++
                }
        else
        {
                errorBox ("Attribute >"plat_attr"<is not an enumeration!")
        }    
        insertColumn(currentPlfm,0,"Platform List",200,iconNone)
    }

Given that the array you create has a local scope inside the if statement, why are you even using the array? Or is this just example code? When I do this I just do:
 

for(i = 0; i < at.size; i++) {
   insert(list_DBE, i, at.strings[i]);
}

Part of your problem is due to the fact that you don't have {} around your for loop. This leads to the problem of your insert statement only executing once with i being equal to at.size which is beyond the values of your array after the for loop is done executing.

for(i = 0; i < at.size; i++) {
   insert(list_DBE, i, at.strings[i]);
}
